In this solo episode, I explain why waiting to feel motivated or emotionally settled can become a trap and how taking action while feeling off build's resilience and confidence. I break down self-efficacy into four sources - mastery experiences, vicarious learning, social persuasion, and physiology - and offer practical ways to show up without demanding perfect conditions.
